from the rear row of chair under the
Hawaiian tendard. Still another, ft yjung
woman wearing a lavender "Merry Widow
bat. gave the or.lv touch of mine tn Ih
floor, but modestly declined to give her
nam. She wa not a delegate.
At 12 o'clock, the hour net for tha nnen
Ing of the convention, there waa tin Inrllr a.
tlon that It would be called to order for
oma time..
Chairman New wa not In evidence on the
piairorm.- aeverai or the leading dclega
tlcm were repreaented only In meager
fashion, the seat of Indiana In particular
being untenanted.' v
Ohio wai alio coniplcuoua for the long
rowa or empty chairs.
In the galleries, possibly two-fifths of
the aeata. were empty, although tha spec
tators were thronging the entrances In a
fashion that bromlsed tn nil them ereriilv
At five minutes after 1J Sergeant-at-arms
Blone gave vent for the first time to the
err as often heard In all conventions. He
eama to the front of the speaker's rostrum,
slllng out: "Clear the aisle, the sergeanta-at-arms
will clear the aisles." And as the
cast has always been In all conventions
the aisles were not cleared and the ser-geanta-at-arms
did nothing.
Wisconsin produced the first burst of
enthusiasm.
Wisconsin produced the first outburst of
enthusiasm shown the personnel of' any
particular delegation. A ponderous man
climbed upon a chair and waving a wide
black hat led the. . Badgers In the cry,
"Hoo-rah-rah.". three times repeated, the
nam of Senator Lev Follette being brought
In at thafnd with vim and energy. Their
lieer waa not particularly contagious,
however, and no other state Joined their
lead.
Tha bahd In ,'tha gallery followed Wis
consin with Its own outburst of noise and
as It started off with 'Dixie." It brought
forth that quick, sharp yell of appreciation
that Invariably greeta the air wherever it
In heard, . north or south of Mason and
Dixon, line.
By this tjme Indiana had come In, but
tha Ohio, seats were still empty. The aisles
wer still Jammed and Sergeant-at-Arms
Stone again sent forth his order concern
Ing the aisles and Jt. met the usual response.
All those already In the aisles remained
where they were and a few others
crowded In.' " " !
Wv Calls to Order.
The tap of Chairman New' gavel fell at
12:1 o'clock, but It was some little time be.
fore the desired quiet In the hall was se
cured. Part of the delay waa due to the
timely arrival of a delayed portion of the
Ohio delegation bearing a big blue aatln
banner with a picture of Secretary Taft
lithographed in colors upon It. There was
cheering for a time and then the band
Struck up "Hall to tha Chief." The demon
stration waa not a sustained ona. .
Charles P. Taft was ona of the Ohio con
tingent and. with former Governor Her
rick,, ,had. front seats near, the center aisle.
Just across from them, waa the Indiana del-egatton,-with
Senator Hemen way In tha
alale. Thus the Taft and Fairbanks boorni
wera brought Into proximity.
The Taft banner was not. allowed in the
hall and was taken unostentatloualy to ona
of the aide rooms.
Chlrman New'a first utterance was "tha
secretary will make an announcement."
Instantly John Malloy of Ohio, who has a
marveloualy strong voice, stepped to the
front and Informed tha convention that a
flashlight waa about to be taken and urg
ing that alt remain quietly In their aats,
as there would be- no danger to anyone.
He Indicated the point of the convention
ball at which the camera was located and
as It waa In the rear of the hall, the dele
gatea made a scramble to get Into the pic
ture with their faces instead of their backs.
Chairman New then spoke as follows:
Tha hour has arrived for the representa.
tlvea of the republican party to meet In
Its fourteenth national convention at the
end of. almost twelve years of the most
brilliant administration- In the history of
the world. There are those present In this
audience today who participated In the

Ills mention of the neme of President

of cheers which, however, continued but a
few seconds. ,
Mr. New Introduced Rlshnn MuMonn of

voice the Ixird'j prayer.

The cheerlna lasted nearlv two minutes.
Senator Burrows. In resuming, mentioned
Fairbanks' jiame and there was a round of
applause. The name of Abraham Lincoln
was received wlh general, but brief hand-
clapping.
Applause greeted the utterances annrov.
Ing President Roosevelt's policy In rela
tion to public lands and an additional
handclannlnr followed the aanatnr'a .
pressed regret that the ahlp subsidy had
failed. The mention of Ellhu Root "that
matchless secretary of state," brought the
New Torkera to their feet with cheers and
waving flags and handkerchiefs.
The delegates of Ohio and Maine led in
the applause following that portion of the
address which favored the establishment of
a merchant marine and the praise given to
the management of the' Insular possessions
was heartily applauded by the convention
as a whole.
Barrows' Voice Weak.
. There are few men In the country whose
voices are capable of reaching tha utter
most limits of the Chicago Coliseum and it
Is no disparagement of the vocal powers of
Senator Burrows to say that he la not
one of them. Before he had been speaking
fifteen mlnutea. therefore, newspapers made
their appearance 'in the far galleries This
situation was not dua ta dearth, of excite
ment In the address of Senator
but to physical obstacle which prevented
u irom reacning the galleries.'
Tha words "No. flag will take the place
or the American flag but the flag of
American Independence," was . tha signal
ur an enpeciany. neany outburst of ap
plause.
Scattered cheers and applause were called
out oy the speakers reference to the
American navy, which he declared waa
second In atrength among the navies of
tne world, but second to none In marks

The Courts' Integrity.
The struggle that Is going on over the
adoption of an anti-Injunction plank found
a place In today's proceedings when an
outburst of tumultuous applause greeted
Senator Burrows" declaration that "the re
publican party has no sympathy with the
Spirit Which Would 'divest the enilrta kt

utea he had gone through Just half of the
uuureBB. oucn portions of his great audi
ence as were able to hear him were still
attentive, out a few spectators at odd
moments filtered through the door, tn th.
Direct outside.
When Senator Burrows mention.H ih-
name or the president in rniMi-nn
the San Domingo incident, an Ohio dele
gate gave a little ehirp that evoked much
laughter, and caused some; int.rr,ir,ti
the speaker. The senator was himself by
wub time apeaKing with much less vigor
than at first and frequently at the close 'of
ins sentences his voice waa inm.rtiM. .
peopie sitting within two feet of him.
Borne of the latter portions of the n.n

The Wntlon of the third term Idea ,..

sified later when he narTSted the nMiiri.

concluded his speech after talking for on
tiuur ana nine minutes, snrr a terrific out
burst , of applause greeted him aa he fin
ished. The band instantly struck up a pa
triotic melody and the delegates, rising to
their feet, cheered the music lustily.
Temporary Officers Approved.
When the applause and muslo following
the conclusion of the temporary chair
man's address had subsided the list of
temporary officers by recommendation of
the committee waa read to the convention
by Lafayette B. Gleason of New York,
chief assistant secretary. An old-fashioned
rebel yell" from Kentucky greeted the
mention of an appointee from that atate.
The list of temporary officers was ap
proved. Representative Sereno E. Payhe of New
York waa recognised to offer a resolution
that until permanently organized the con
ventlon be guided . the rules of the la.t
national conventim, It was adopted.
Senator Chestei 4. lxng presented and
moved the adoption of a resolution mov
ing that the roU of the atatea i.e ra.llAH
for the presentation of the names of tha
men selected for th vartoua committees.
The resolution was unanimously aHon
and th roll call began.
"Alabanta." called the clerk, but Alabama
could not respond, having -no list at hand,
their ona copy having been filed with the
clerk of the Convention. The plan of hav
ing the namea of committeemen read for
the delegations was then abandoned and
the membership of all tha committee was
vn.icu ur U.. i-icra.
Delegates Get Tired.
The reading of the list of namea did not
appeal to either spectators or delegates and
they commenced to lave. No names were
submitted from Georgia beyond that of the
name for the credentials committee, ha.
cause of contests In that state. ,
When Indiana waa reached Renatnr ti.
moved that further reading be dispensed
witn ana mat tne lists be handed in to the
ecretary. The motion wes carried and the
reading ceased.
The following resolution waa auhmltte
by J. Francis Burk of Pennsylvania, who
requested that It be referred to the commit
tee on'rules:
"Resolved, That the basis of representa
tion In the national convention shall be as
follows:
Each state shall be entitled to four dele.
gates-at-large, and one additional delegate
for each 10.000 or majority fraction thereof,
cast at the last preceding presidential elec
tion for republican electors; and two dele
gates from ea.h territory, th District of
Columbia. Hawaii. Alaska, Porto Rico and
the-fhlllpplnes, and that methods neces
sary for the enforcement of this rule shall
be provided by the republican national
committee chosen by the delegates of this
convention."
Senator Lodge's resolution waa carried
with reference to all the states save Louis
iana, where a contest bad been tamnor.
arily passed over and both delegations
seated. It waa reported that Louisiana
had submitted two lists, but Chairman Bur
row announced an agreement had been
reached whereby the Louisiana delegations
had agreed that they would forego repre
sentations on- the standlna committee.
Secretary Malloy announced that th com
mittee selected would meet as soon a pos
sible after th adjournment of the conven
tion. He declared that It would not be
necessary for the committee on credentials
to leavenh hall aa lunch had been pro
vided In the Coliseum.
On motion of Senator Dupont. the con.
ventlon at 1:01 p. 'm., adjourned until 11

trephe.- President Roosevelt well Said, in
commending the secretary of the treasury:
"I congratulate you upon the admirable
way tn which you have handled the present
crisis. I congratulate also those conserva
tive and aubstantlal business men who,
In this crisis, have acted with such wis
dom and public spirit. I By their action they
did invaluable service In checking the panto
which,, beginning as a matter of specula
tion, was threatening to detroy the con
fidence and credit necessary to the con
duct of legitimate business.
"No one. who consider calmly can ques
tion that the Underlying conditions which
Unaka up our financial and Industrial well-
nnng are essentially sound ana noneat.
Dishonest . dealing and speculative enter
prise are 'merely tho occasional Incidents
of our real Tirosperity. The -action taken

tion ha been of the utmost consequence
and has secured opportunity for the calm
consideration which mutt Inevitably pro

That such a disturbance should have oc
curred under such circumstances furnishes
the strongest evidence that there la some
thing Inherently defective In the system it
self, which can only be reached by a thor
ough overhauling. Bot this system, hastily
Inaugurated, by Secretary Chase during the
exigencies of war, while confessedly de
fective In Its Inability to respond at all
time to the varying and exacting demands
of trade, yet,- during the forty-five years
of It existence, ha served a wise and
beneflclent purpose. .
Under It the public credit was restored
and advanced until our bonds float at a
lower rale of .Interest than those of any
other nation. Under It specie payment
were resumed, ' the gold standard estab
lished and maintained, and very paper
dollar Issued convertible Into coin. Under
this system questionable and worthless
tate bank lsue were driven out of circu
lation, supplanted by a national currency
of unquestionable character ana stamnty.
While other countries have added to their
burden of debt, with an Increased rate of
Interest thereon, th! nation ha paid off
1,494 .million of Its obligations, and th
present administration has lessened the
volume of our Indebtedness by $101,141,628,
and In Its refunding operations has reduced
the annual Interest . charge from !30,371.4SS
to 21,im,lM.
During the period' of Its existence, with
aggregate deposit of 66 billion, the average
loss has been only one-half of 1 per cent.
The national banks have served a bene
flclent purpose In uplifting the credit of the
government: in . lessening the burden of
taxation; In securing a sound and safe
currency, that floats at par in our own
country as well a In every commercial
nation In the world. - It ha developed the
resource of the country, extended Its In
dustries, expanded it trade, and aided In
keeping the pledge of 1898. that th national
debt should be a sacred a the soldiers

anv such disaster as befell the country
last fall. The aecretary of the treasury has
already taken tha necessary SieDS in aiye

doubtful If the provision of thl act will
